Transaction volume

OEM order books remain historically strong at roughly $46 billion combined. Gulfstream, Textron, Bombardier, Dassault, and Embraer are all holding healthy backlogs, with Bombardier adding its largest single order in over a decade. In the turboprop space, demand for flagship models such as the Pilatus PC-12 and Beechcraft King Air series remains solid, with new entrants like the Cessna SkyCourier gaining traction in the cargo and commuter markets.

Manufacturer Backlogs

Global business jet flying is up year-over-year in the first half, led by North America (+4%). The fractional segment continues to lead growth, up 10%, with Part 91 and charter also showing gains. Turboprop operations remain strong as well, supported by steady demand in regional passenger, cargo, and utility roles.
